5.87.1

प्र वो॑ म॒हे म॒तयो॑ यन्तु॒ विष्ण॑वे म॒रुत्व॑ते गिरि॒जा ए॑व॒याम॑रुत् | प्र शर्धा॑य॒ प्रय॑ज्यवे सुखा॒दये॑ त॒वसे॑ भ॒न्ददि॑ष्टये॒ धुनि॑व्रताय॒ शव॑से ||

To Viṣṇu, to the Mighty whom the Maruts follow let your hymns born in song go forth, Evayamarut; To the impetuous, strong band, adorned with bracelets, that rushes on in joy and ever roars for vigour.

5.87.2

प्र ये जा॒ता म॑हि॒ना ये च॒ नु स्व॒यं प्र वि॒द्मना॑ ब्रु॒वत॑ एव॒याम॑रुत् | क्रत्वा॒ तद् वो॑ मरुतो॒ नाधृषे॒ शवो॑ दा॒ना म॒ह्ना तदे॑षा॒मधृ॑ष्टासो॒ नाद्र॑यः ||

They who with might were manifest, and who willingly by their own knowledge told it forth, Evayamarut. Maruts, this strength of yours no wisdom comprehendeth: through their gifts' greatness they are moveless as the mountains.

5.87.3

प्र ये दि॒वो बृ॑ह॒तः शृ॑ण्वि॒रे गि॒रा सु॒शुक्वा॑नः सु॒भ्व॑ एव॒याम॑रुत् | न येषा॒मिरी॑ स॒धस्थ॒ ईष्ट॒ आँ अ॒ग्नयो॒ न स्ववि॑द्युत॒: प्र स्य॒न्द्रासो॒ धुनी॑नाम् ||

Who by the psalm they sing are heard, from lofty heaven, the strong, the brightly shining Ones, Evayamarut; In whose abode there is no mightier one to move them, whose lightnings are as fires, who urge the roaring rivers.

5.87.4

स च॑क्रमे मह॒तो निरु॑रुक्र॒मः स॑मा॒नस्मा॒त् सद॑स एव॒याम॑रुत् | य॒दायु॑क्त॒ त्मना॒ स्वादधि॒ ष्णुभि॒र्विष्प॑र्धसो॒ विम॑हसो॒ जिगा॑ति॒ शेवृ॑धो॒ नृभि॑: ||

He of the Mighty Stride forth strode, Evayamarut, out of the spacious dwelling-place, their home in common. When he, himself, hath yoked his emulous strong horses on heights, he cometh forth, joy-giving, with the Heroes.

5.87.5

स्व॒नो न वोऽम॑वान् रेजय॒द् वृषा॑ त्वे॒षो य॒यिस्त॑वि॒ष ए॑व॒याम॑रुत् | येना॒ सह॑न्त ऋ॒ञ्जत॒ स्वरो॑चिष॒: स्थार॑श्मानो हिर॒ण्यया॑: स्वायु॒धास॑ इ॒ष्मिण॑: ||

Like your tremendous roar, the rainer with light flashing, strong, speeding, hath made all tremble, Evayamarut, Wherewith victorious ye, self-luminous, press onward, with strong reins, decked with gold, impetuous and well-weaponed.

5.87.6

अ॒पा॒रो वो॑ महि॒मा वृ॑द्धशवसस्त्वे॒षं शवो॑ऽवत्वेव॒याम॑रुत् | स्थाता॑रो॒ हि प्रसि॑तौ सं॒दृशि॒ स्थन॒ ते न॑ उरुष्यता नि॒दः शु॑शु॒क्वांसो॒ नाग्नय॑: ||

Unbounded is your greatness, ye of mighty power: may your bright vigour be our aid, Evayamarut; For ye are visible helpers in the time of trouble: like fires, aglow with light, save us from shame and insult.

5.87.7

ते रु॒द्रास॒: सुम॑खा अ॒ग्नयो॑ यथा तुविद्यु॒म्ना अ॑वन्त्वेव॒याम॑रुत् | दी॒र्घं पृ॒थु प॑प्रथे॒ सद्म॒ पार्थि॑वं॒ येषा॒मज्मे॒ष्वा म॒हः शर्धां॒स्यद्भु॑तैनसाम् ||

So may the Rudras, mighty warriors, Evayamarut, with splendid brilliancy, like fires, be our protectors; They whose terrestrial dwelling-place is wide-extended, whom none suspect of sin, whose bands have lofty courage.

5.87.8

अ॒द्वे॒षो नो॑ मरुतो गा॒तुमेत॑न॒ श्रोता॒ हवं॑ जरि॒तुरे॑व॒याम॑रुत् | विष्णो॑र्म॒हः स॑मन्यवो युयोतन॒ स्मद् र॒थ्यो॒३ न दं॒सना ऽप॒ द्वेषां॑सि सनु॒तः ||

Come in a friendly spirit, come to us, O Maruts, and hear his call who praises you, Evayamarut. Like car-borne men, one-minded with the mighty Viṣṇu, keep enmity far from us with your deeds of wonder.

5.87.9

गन्ता॑ नो य॒ज्ञं य॑ज्ञियाः सु॒शमि॒ श्रोता॒ हव॑मर॒क्ष ए॑व॒याम॑रुत् | ज्येष्ठा॑सो॒ न पर्व॑तासो॒ व्यो॑मनि यू॒यं तस्य॑ प्रचेतस॒: स्यात॑ दु॒र्धर्त॑वो नि॒दः ||

Come to our sacrifice, ye Hnly Ones, to bless it, and, free from demons, hear our call, Evayamarut.
